That's the game we all play. It's called Hunting.

My wife recommends flowers and a box of chocolate.

Pick a spot within your distance and stay put.

Make sure you are hunting the wind right. Don't hunt the spot unless it's favorable to your position and the travel route you expect the buck to come from. Good luck. And don't overhunt it or you will push him right out.
